What is the NFL Players' Association's stance on gambling? I guess it is an individuals' perogative if it is legal but seems like this has been mentioned with a couple of the suicides and with a portion of the players who couldn't stay financially solvent. Just wondering.

At least one of those articles said that the NFL told the panthers to travel as planned. Seems like if this game doesn't have any playoff implications they could just give the Chiefs a week off. I'm sure they need it after something like this. I know they don't want to lose TV money and stuff, but couldn't they just plug a different game into that slot? There's always a few you can't watch.

I agree with not having the Chiefs play this week and I imagine the game will be canceled. If it is not canceled then I believe the NFL would be making a mistake from a decency standpoint, and consequently, a public relations standpoint.

At least move the game to a later week because it could have NFL Draft and contract consequences (players contracts, city/state contracts. media contracts)

Correct. At least that's what ESPN said the last I saw. Mygirlfriend commented that at at least the mother was there to take care of the child. I wonder if she was there for this purpose, but not knowing it. IE, he had her there knowing what he planned to do so that his child would be with someone. Just speculation on my part for this sad turn of events.
